Imo it's stupid to have a gmail account. Other than for spurious or bs purposes. Any info based in fact is given up imo in gmail.
Why gmail anyways? Yahoo!Mail is a GB. No retaining every email till the end of time etc bs.

Personally, I have a gmail account but I don't like the conversation interface, nor the lack of folders. Labels is a good idea - but I have not bothered with it myself and so I don't use it too much. But, I have 100 Gmail invites if anyone wants it that does not have it.

lol. No what I mean is even if one chose to delete emails or delete the whole gmail account. None of it gets deleted. Unlike other email accounts which will truely delete emails or accounts. In other words it's not up to the individual with gmail. Your gmail is always archived.

Ok, so you are convinced that when you cancel your **** (enter (web)mail account here) the company will search through their backups to delete all your mail?

"You may organize or delete your messages through your Gmail account or terminate your account through the Google Account section of Gmail settings. Such deletions or terminations will take immediate effect in your account view. Residual copies of deleted messages and accounts may take up to 60 days to be deleted from our active servers and may remain in our offline backup systems."

I ASSume that eventually your emails would even disappear from the backup systems as they are refreshed or reindexed. ??
